Toggle CHG to enable the charge path to the battery.
Charge control is overridden by RELRN (see the Battery
Relearn Mode section) or airline mode (see the Airline
Mode and AC Adapter section). When CHG is enabled,
the MAX1538 connects the selected battery (BATSEL = 0
for battery A and BATSEL = 1 for battery B) to the charg-
er. OUT[2:1] = 11 if the MAX1538 is in charge mode.
When the charge path is enabled, the corresponding
battery undervoltage latch is cleared. This allows charg-
ing of protected battery packs. In typical applications,
connect CHRG to VDD to reduce the system I/O.
The MAX1538 guarantees that no supplies are connect-
ed to each other during any transition by implementing
a fixed delay time (t
sition timer). This is necessary as the batteries have very
low impedances, and momentarily shorting batteries
together can cause hundreds of amps to flow. For
example, when adapter removal is detected, ADPPWR
and REVBLK begin to turn off less than 10µs before
ADPBLK and DISBAT begin to turn on, connecting the
appropriate battery. For example, upon switching from
one battery to another, DISA and CHGA begin turning
off less than 10µs before DISB and CHGB begin to turn
on. To guarantee a break-before-make time, ensure that
the turn-off time of the MOSFETs is smaller than t
(see the MOSFET Selection section).
The MAX1538 also guarantees that any change does
not cause unnecessary power-source transitions. When
switching from battery to battery; battery to adapter; or
adapter to battery because of adapter or battery inser-
tion or removal, or due to a change at BATSEL, a single
set of MOSFETs are turned off followed by another set
of MOSFETs turned on. No additional transitions are
necessary. The only exception occurs when RELRN is
high and the adapter is inserted because it is first
detected as an airline adapter and later detected as an
AC adapter. This results in a transition from discharge
mode to AC mode, followed by a transition from AC
mode to relearn mode. Although this extra transition is
generally harmless, it can be avoided by disabling
relearn mode when the adapter is absent.
The MAX1538 implements sophisticated blanking at the
adapter and the batteries to correctly determine bat-
tery/adapter insertion and removal. Logic inputs CHRG,
RELRN, and BATSEL should be debounced to ensure
that fast repetitive transitions do not occur, in which

MOSFET must be rated for the full system load current.
Additionally, the battery discharge MOSFETs (P3, P5,
P6, P7, and P8) should be selected with low on-resis-
tance for high discharge efficiency. Since for any given
switch configuration at least half of the MOSFETs are
off, dual MOSFETs can be used without reducing the
effective MOSFET power dissipation. When using dual
